Saturday, March 22, 2025 We went to Open Window Theater tonight to see the play Tolkien. I was struck with the similarities between it and last night’s play. Both were edifying about their subjects, both were long, and both would have been really boring as movies. 🙂 These biographical plays were more about the lives […]

Friday, March 21, 2025 I subbed in the same room today as I did yesterday. A girl came in for the last class of the day and said, “You are my favorite sub. I wish you were my real teacher.” I said thank you, that was very nice to hear, but I bet her regular

Thursday, March 20. 2025 This was about several meetings of a book club that were being filmed for a documentary. The camera was set to follow movement and record from 7pm to midnight, but there was no cameraman and no way to stop or rewind. What started off as stilted, show-off for the camera behavior

Wednesday, March 19, 2025 We left to go see the Captain America movie without Captain America (I thought it was pretty good – I think they did a good job of remaking Captain America into a whole different guy. One wonders why they needed to, but since they were, they did fine) and we saw

Tuesday, March 18, 2025 After we finished work today, we had nothing we had to do. Nowhere to go (Wait! I stopped at the grocery store to pick up pimentos for dinner. Not going straight home for a nap was heroic. I get credit for that) and nothing to do! So, we got a few

Monday, March 17, 2025 Today was the last day of spring break, so I had nothing I had to do. I went to my friend, Carla’s, this afternoon to visit. She was baking for a bake sale and I was chatting from the kitchen table. We spoke of many things – but not ships or

Sunday, March 16, 2025 We had lunch and dashed away from Madison to get home in time for a show tonight. Keith thought it would be “fine” if we left by 2pm, but better if we left by 1:30. I thought we should leave by noon, but then I was barely up and showered by

Saturday, March 15, 2025 I came back after 25 hours in Waukesha. Donna, Nancy, and I spent several hours sitting at Kopps after each having 1/2 and 1/3 of a hamburger. And custard. Delightful. Keith and Benjamin had been working all day. The plumbing fixing hadn’t gone so well last night, but the second attempt

There was a total lunar eclipse this morning. It was all covered at 1:28am, so Benjamin, Sean, and I stayed up to watch. We hopped out a few times to watch a big bite get eaten out it, then about 1:30 it was all covered up and glowing a bit of red. It was interesting

Thursday, March 13, 2025 We came to do quarter round by the floor molding, but built the cabinet first. Today, Keith investigated the wet spot in the kitchen ceiling. After cutting a hole in the ceiling, then a hole in the wall behind the bedroom door, the leak was located. LUCKILY, it is easily fixable
